The oil spill in the Gulf by the BP rig has become a conversation piece in most homes and watering holes around the country at this point. I don't claim to be the most educated person in the world on what's going on with this disaster, but it seems to me that it's taking an unusually long time for the source of the spill to be fixed.
This situation reminds me of how a lot of us have a tendency to ignore struggles and problems in our lives, hoping they'll either not get any worse or just go away all together. Sorry. Those things just don't happen.
If a problem is ignored, it only gets worse. Just look at the oil spill as an example. And I'm afraid what we've seen so far is only the tip of the iceberg of all the problems that will come our way ecologically and economically.
If you're facing a problem, the best solution is to get some help in dealing with it. Find someone who can give you mature, wise counsel. Find someone who can hold you accountable. Don't ignore it. Problems just don't disappear on their own.
